Report of the results of a systematic X-ray study of mixtures of varying composition of cupric and ferric oxides, which were precipitated at 25°, aged under water at 100°, and heated to 1,000°. The radiograms show no indication of the formation of cupric ferrite on precipitation at 25° or on aging the precipitate at 100°. In the samples heated to 1,000°, CuFe2O4 is formed; it is the only compound formed in the system CuO-Fe2O3. |
